Puppy diarrhea: Is it from new food, treats, or kibble type?

Question

Diarrhea- due to too many training treats and transitioning from one kibble to another (too rich and not a puppy formula). Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Male | neutered | 7 months and 28 days old | 12 lbs

Beau is an adorable puppy! If he is having diarrhea after feeding the training treats and switching his diet formula you may need to put him exclusively on very bland diet for a couple of days. An example of a bland diet is cooked skinless, boneless white chicken breast and white rice (1 part chicken to 3 parts rice). You can still work on his training, but use little pieces of the chicken for treats perhaps. Once his stools return to normal you can slowly transition him to his new diet over several days adding a little more of the new diet into the bland food daily. And once he is on his new diet with no diarrhea you can use a blander treat for training. Hope beau is back to himself very soon!
